    Tattooing?...

    Whilst being tattooed last week I thought:

    "Why am I paying this man quite a lot of money to colour my arm in? I could do that!"

    A few hours later I was the proud owner of this little lot:



    I had been drinking prior to ordering and now realise I have absolutely no idea how to actually tattoo but seems as I've paid for it I'm going to try and learn!

    Question is......



    ... Who's first?!?... :icon_lol:

    AT the risk of sounding like a nob, are you serious?

    I've got a couple of tattoos I've had for a while, but now I don't think I could trust anyone to produce anything typographic permanently on my skin. If the kerning's off I'll have to look at it every day.

    Maybe start a niche tattoo business inking typographically perfect designs onto other designers? :icon_tongue_smilie:

    Thats a good idea!! Thing that got me thinking about tattooing is that the tattooist who's working on my arm has messed up a few lines and while they're not bad, I know I wouldn't do that.

    One of the dangers of drinking, have a credit card and being on the internet...

    I'm notorious for buying stupid stuff when drunk!

    Some of my best buys from the past 10 years (in no particular order)
    • Tattoo equipment
    • A BMX (that was very recently)
    • 20 t-shirts all of the same design and size (all too small)
    • £200 pool cue
    • Mold your own penis kit
    • Record player (I have no records)
    • Engagement ring

    Definitely a prize winner!

    Does the item depend on how drunk?

    Have you used any of them?!!

    Usually it just depends on what I've been talking about whilst getting drunk. Then once drunk, it's all down to what I think is a good idea.

    for example the t-shirts were a "buy in bulk and sell them on to make some money".... nobody wanted them! Oh and the mold your own penis thing was a great valentines gift idea!... We wont go into that disaster!!
